6 LEARNING, TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT Learning and teaching The Foundation Degree, whilst academically challenging, is a vocationally orientated course. It consists of 2400 learning hours. We aim to expose students to the rigours of working in a business-like environment, preparing them to enter employment straight from University. As a result we place great emphasis on professional and academic skills, and we expect students to adopt a professional approach to their work. The key to understanding our approach to teaching and learning is to appreciate that the question is not so much what we can teach but how much students want to learn. The work placement (which is part of the Professional Practice module) forms an integral part of the learning philosophy as it allows students to contextualise and reflect upon the applicability of their learning to the workplace. Assessment of this module is based on a work log of tasks undertaken within the work placement signed off by the immediate superior, a work based report considering how the placement relates to the theoretical aspects of their studies and a reflective statement which draws upon their experience in the workplace. Students will normally be required to arrange their own work placement which in itself is an educational experience. A variety of teaching and learning methods are employed on this course, ranging from the traditional lecture/tutorial approach to student centred learning approaches. This variety is encouraged to cope with the breadth of the curriculum and to give students a balanced experience in terms of both theoretical approaches to business and to practical approaches to prepare for employment. Assessment A variety of assessment methods will be used in order to ensure that the cognitive and subject based knowledge in the subject benchmark are met. Thus the course will have a mixture of research based project work, assessment under controlled conditions, individual and group assignments and reflective reports. Assessments under controlled conditions may be a traditional closed book examination; an open book examination, a case study based assessment where students are examined on a previously issued scenario or a specified set of exercises utilising IT software applications. The precise nature of the assessment will reflect the learning outcomes and the educational needs of the individual unit. REGULATIONS Regulations The course regulations are in accordance with the University's General Examination and Assessment Regulations (available from the school office or the Registry).

7 Course specific regulations In line with the Business School undergraduate programme the programme allows for limited compensation between pieces of assessment on an individual module providing an average in excess of a pass mark (40%) is achieved with a minimum of 35% in each component of assessment. Referral is allowed in up 40 CATS points of modules at each level without affecting progression/award. Failure in more than 50 CATS points of modules at either level will mean the student is normally required to leave the course.
